Underfloor Heating Accessories
Upgrade Your Underfloor Heating System For Maximum Performance
Upgrading your underfloor heating system with high-quality, professional accessories can help maximize its performance and energy efficiency. From cables and mats to thermostats and control units, having the right parts makes a difference.
Choose the Right Underfloor Heating Mats and Cables
When selecting underfloor heating mats or cables, you need to consider the size of the room as well as the type of flooring.
Our range includes different wattages and sizes to suit any area in your home. For a small bathroom, a 150W/m2 mat is ideal, while a larger open plan kitchen requires a higher wattage like 200W/m2.
These electric heating mats and cables are designed for easy DIY installation under tiles, stone, wood, or vinyl floors. They should be laid out according to the room layout before being connected to the thermostat and electric supply.
Underfloor heating mats are easy to install under tiles or wood flooring.
Thermostats Give You Precise Temperature Control
A programmable thermostat is essential for any underfloor heating system. It allows you to set precise temperatures and create customizable heating schedules.
Look for a model with automatic adjustments and a built-in timer. This gives you full control over when the heating switches on and off, minimising energy consumption.
We recommend digital thermostats with an LCD display. These make it easy to program and adjust the settings as required. Opt for a model with ambient air temperature sensing too.
A programmable thermostat allows customized control over underfloor heating.
Advanced Control Units For Larger Systems
Larger underfloor heating systems with multiple zones need an advanced electric control unit. These manage the electric loads efficiently to optimize performance.
Control units come with time and temperature monitoring. This allows you to track the heating activity and spot any fluctuations or faults.
Select a model engineered for reliability and continuous operation. Built-in safety features are also important to prevent overheating or current surges.
Consider a smart control unit with wifi connectivity. This enables remote operation and monitoring via smartphone apps.
Use Quality Accessories For Water-Based Systems
Our underfloor heating accessories are suitable for both electric and hydronic water systems.
For hydronic systems, you’ll need plastic tubing or rubber pipes designed specifically for underfloor heat distribution. We stock various diameters, grades, and coil sizes to suit different room layouts.
Proper insulation under the tubing helps maximise efficiency. We recommend using our foam boards or rubber mat underlays.
Thermostatic control valves regulate the water flow and temperature for each zone. This gives you precise control over each area’s heating.
